Chapter 69 Why doesn't Long Ze go to the haunted house and become an NPC?
Qiyu County.
Today, Byakuya was unusually dressed in a kimono, no longer his usual casual clothes that allowed him to move around easily.
The reason is that a ceremony called the "Number One Night Festival in the World" is being held here, and Bai Yexiu is just taking a break from his mission to have some fun.
While eating the pink food in his hand, Bai Yexiu couldn't help but look around curiously.
This was only his second time attending a festival, and he always found it fascinating. Besides, there was plenty of delicious food at the festival, and Bai Yexiu, who loved food, was determined not to miss it.
What? A task? I can do it later.
Bai Yexiu took a bite of his newly bought food, looking quite content. Just as he was about to take another bite, he caught a glimpse of a familiar face out of the corner of his eye—
Conan holding a pink balloon.
At that moment, Conan, who was troubled by the balloon, also happened to see Byakuya Osamu not far away.
!!!
Conan suddenly felt an urge to hide. If Ryuzawa saw him holding something like this, he'd probably laugh at him for ages...
Okay, and then, quite coincidentally, they made eye contact.
Conan silently looked away, hoping the other person would pretend not to have seen it.
But the other party did not comply with his wishes and walked straight towards him with a smile.
Conan's lips twitched as he glanced at the balloon diagonally above him, praying that it would burst or drift away for some reason soon.
"Ryuzawa-kun, what a coincidence!" Ran Mouri waved enthusiastically as she saw Bai Yexiu walking towards them.
"Conan's balloon looks so cute." Bai Yexiu looked at Conan with a kind smile.
"Isn't it cute? I bought it for Conan!" Ran Mouri said.
Conan's lips twitched again.
Looks like we should prepare to be mocked by Longze.
Later, Bai Yexiu joined them, turning the original trio into a group of four.
"These balloons suit you quite well," Bai Yexiu joked.
Conan glanced at him sideways with his half-moon eyes and said in a gruff tone, "Since you like it so much, you can have it. It matches yours quite well."
Bai Yexiu feigned delight: "Ah? So you like this about me?!"
No, Longze, what's wrong with your thought process?
Conan thought that if he hadn't shrunk yet, he would have given Conan a sharp rap on the head.
Bai Yexiu seemed to have spoken a bit too loudly, causing Ran Mouri to turn around as well: "Eh? So Conan, you like to eat that?"
Just as Conan was at a loss, Bai Yexiu quickly bought a pink one from the stall and handed it to Conan.
"Yes, Conan just begged me to buy it for him," Bai Yexiu said with a smile.
Conan stared at the two pink objects in his hand, veins bulging on his forehead.
At that moment, a man ran over, seemingly in a great hurry, as if someone was chasing him.
The man stopped near them, bent over and panting, then looked up and locked his gaze on the seemingly easy-going Ran Mouri.
Just then, Bai Yexiu's phone vibrated. Taking advantage of the fact that Conan and his friends' attention was on the man, Bai Yexiu quietly retreated to the side of the road and answered the call.
The moment the call connected, Gin uttered a completely emotionless sentence: "Where have you been? Come back."
Bai Yexiu immediately guessed Gin's intentions—this guy wanted to drag him along on another mission.
The main problem is that Bai Yexiu hasn't even finished his own missions, so how could he possibly do missions with Gin? (Unless Gin forcibly takes him away.) Even if he could get a commission, doing missions with Gin would make it impossible to slack off. He'd rather do them alone.
“I’m quite far from you, so why don’t you reimburse my return trip fare, Qin-chan?” Bai Yexiu said playfully.
Gin paused for a second, then said, "How much?"
"One billion."
Gin fell silent.
Okay, Cointreau has made it clear he doesn't want to do missions with him, but the number he quoted is a bit outrageous... What a ridiculous demand...
He just saw that Jundu seemed to be doing nothing every day and wasn't taking tasks seriously, so he wanted to drag him over to do tasks together to supervise him and help Jundu correct his bad habit of slacking off.
However, Jundu is never very cooperative, and sometimes you have to tie him up for him to behave.
"If you can't afford a billion, don't bother me...doing my mission."
Bai Yexiu decisively hung up the phone.
Gin, far away in Beika City, stared silently at his phone, lost in thought.
Seeing his boss's expression, Vodka guessed what had happened—it was probably because Cointreau had hung up on him again.
On the other side, Bai Yexiu looked at the bustling festival with people coming and going and thought that he might as well stay here for a few days. Judging from the situation, if he went back now, he would definitely be kidnapped by Gin!
On Conan's side, the man in a hurry asked Ran to take a picture for him. Conan wasn't interested in this and reached out to tug at Bai Yexiu's sleeve to say something, but his hand grasped nothing.
Conan looked to the side in confusion and found that Ryuzawa, who had been beside him just half a minute ago, had disappeared.
How can this guy appear and disappear so mysteriously...?
Conan looked around, searching for Bai Yexiu.
Then, a hand suddenly landed on his shoulder.
Conan was so frightened that he trembled all over.
He turned around, still shaken, and found that it was Bai Yexiu with a smile on his face.
"Hey, why are you acting like a ghost?"
Conan blurted it out from the bottom of his heart.
He really felt that Long Ze would suddenly disappear and then suddenly reappear, always giving people a big fright. Why didn't he go to a haunted house and become an NPC?
"I just answered a phone call," Bai Yexiu said truthfully.
"I am a police officer from Saitama Prefecture, surnamed Yokomizo. I would like to ask you about Mr. Imatake Tomo's case."
Conan was about to say something when he suddenly heard those words and turned his gaze to the source of the sound—
Behind the man who rushed over to take a picture with Xiaolan was a man with an upright demeanor.
"What happened to Jinzhu?" the man asked the policeman, puzzled.
"He has been killed, in the hotel room where you and he stayed together," Officer Yokomizo said solemnly.
The people present were shocked, but Bai Yexiu's face remained expressionless, showing no emotional fluctuation whatsoever.
The reason is that after hearing those words, many things came to mind again.
Bai Yexiu admitted that knowing the truth in advance had somewhat diminished his interest.
